Every weekday from noon, The Brew is a chat and music show. Hosted by Phil Whelan, guests include regular contributors and drop-ins, who span topics from current affairs to cookery, sport, the arts, technology, and music... lots of music.
Happy Monday. Welcome to The Brew. Robbie McRobbie joins us at 12:10 with this week's Kai Tak Sports Park happenings, and a few other sporty highlights. Then at 1:25, over to Ho Chi Minh City to catch up with our man on the ground, Neil Runcieman. Vietnam’s General Election wrapped up yesterday with a huge reported turnout, as voters picked the 500 Deputies to the 16th National Assembly, plus some 300,000 local council representatives - and made a nationwide party of the whole day. As usual, Neil joins us live on Facebook, so catch him there if you can.

Happy Wednesday. Welcome to The Brew. The news just in is that Philippe Dova is tied up last minute, so he'll be back next Wednesday at his regular time. We will, however, be finding out all about the world's oldest orchestra, which dates back to the 1740s. That's before Mozart was born, and just before the actual 'classical' period in music history kicked in. Crazy! At 1:25, Paul Archibald will tell you a lot more, and play some amazing recordings by... the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra from Germany, as it's 'classical' music day once again.
